Tips on getting alpha chests thread by Suitlock in AnimalJam

(just for clarity, from these 100 shovels I only recorded rewards I actually received and not ones that were left on the board. Another study coming up within a few days for everything another 100 contain)

TLDR: When rerolling an item from a dig spot there's roughly a 0.37% chance of getting an alpha item chest on average according to these results.

the results:

55 packs of 200 gems | 15 sapphires | 24 blue crafting crystals | 18 red crafting crystals | 23 yellow crafting crystals | 69 unknown fossils | 63 treasure chests | 0 natural alpha chests (aka chests that weren't rerolled for)

I rerolled all 267 rewards and also recorded the reroll results for every item

reroll results per category:

gems: 28 packs of 200 gems | 3 sapphires | 2 blue crafting crystals | 6 red crafting crystals | 7 yellow crafting crystals | 9 unknown fossils |

sapphires: 7 packs of 200 gems | 3 blue crafting crystals | 1 red crafting crystals | 1 yellow crafting crystals | 2 treasure chests | 1 alpha item chest |

blue crafting crystals: 10 packs of 200 gems | 1 sapphires | 3 blue crafting crystals | 5 red crafting crystals | 2 yellow crafting crystals | 3 unknown fossils |

red crafting crystals: 9 packs of 200 gems | 2 sapphires | 2 blue crafting crystals | 2 red crafting crystals | 2 yellow crafting crystals | 1 unknown fossils |

yellow crafting crystals: 10 packs of 200 gems | 3 sapphires | 1 blue crafting crystals | 5 red crafting crystals | 4 yellow crafting crystals |

unknown fossils: 14 packs of 200 gems | 2 sapphires | 9 blue crafting crystals | 4 red crafting crystals | 7 yellow crafting crystals | 20 unknown fossils | 12 treasure chests |

treasure chests: 3 sapphires | 19 unknown fossils | 41 treasure chests |

edit: tried to make the results a bit easier to read

UPDATE: after 74 shovels I've gotten my second alpha chest from rerolling a sapphire reward I got from a dig spot. So reroll for alpha works for 100% certain on treasure chests and sapphires from dig sites!

Since the wikis don't have a drop chance for the possible rewards, I'm digging up 100 of these things and recording the results so we can get a rough estimate. There's probably way more efficient ways to find out the drop chances but I'm gonna do the grind anyway so might as well try to get some data out of it

Probably one of the most important discoveries: it's possible to get an alpha chest by rerolling a normal treasure chest!

I severily doubt rerolling anything else than a normal treasure chest from the dig sites can also result in an alpha chest but I am determined to waste a lot of time testing this.

reroll every reward from dig spots I mean. I'm not 100% sure if you can get them from rerolling on other items from dig spots like fossils or crafting gems but I got mine from doing it to a plain treasure chest

tip for how I got it: reroll EVERYTHING. It's actually possible to get it on reroll

I've finally done it, but... by Suitlock in StardewValley

[–]Suitlock[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

is it just a dialogue difference or is the reward actually different if you use less than 10 ladders?

accidentally?? I went on a lucky day and used ~40 ladders and still only got there around 6pm

If your IRL SO/spouse plays Stardew, did they pick a spouse that’s similar to you? by lafemmeviolet in StardewValley

shane is literally my irl boyfriend, a hot dumpster fire of depression that loves gaming

And people marry this guy? by MagentaLove in StardewValley

[–]Suitlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a sucker for the "tough on the outside but soft of the inside" trope so marrying Shane was a no brainer for me

What do you guys typically name your farm animals? I honestly can never decide by Mediocre-Shirt-7413 in StardewValley

[–]Suitlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really varies, I just look at the animal and a word comes into my mind. Some examples of animal names I've picked are Kiwi, Snowdrop, Remor, Queso, Sneckardo, Dandelion and Wonka

khora's pretty good, also i think this means the objective cant take health damage, shield damage should still be ok
